Final weekend whitetail buck

This past weekend, after over two weeks of hunting various parts of Wisconsin, things finally came together for me while hunting just a few miles from home.
  I was hunting a narrow strip of cedars that run out toward a cornfield to the west. Anticipating west to east morning travel, I was surprised by this eight pt. doing just the opposite. It had rained the night before, so I never heard his approach through the thick cedars.
  When I first saw him, he was 15 yards and closing. I thought for sure I'd get busted, but he continued by me at four yards. I let him get broadside before I drew, and hit him about mid-body as he quartered past. He kicked his back legs out and bolted north and then disappeared to the east. I waited an hour and found him about eighty yards away. He'd just made it out of my sight before going down.
   After blowing a shot at a different eight pt. in northern Wisconsin a week and a half earlier, I was more than happy with this buck on the tail end of vacation time.

In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
